Schools in England review: Black children feel over-policed in schools

Black Children are at a disadvantage in schools because they are viewed as "less innocent" and more adult-like. thw Commission on Young Lives in England report says this process of "adultification" means black children feel over-policed in schools. It makes many feel unsafe and has a huge negative impact on their lives. Former children's commissioner stated that "adultification" was a significant issue. This kind of treatment is having a damaging impact on young black peoples confidence in schools and with the police, where they are less to be seen as victims. Black children are at a greater risk of experiencing bias, due to preconceived ideas about black children being aggressive, deviant, and almost needing to be safeguarded from rather then safeguarded.
